nice!
Review in the local paper Sydsvenskan
Translation of the last paragraph:
"But Escape is optimistic in one decisive manner- when it comes to the possibilities of art. This is fiercely good political contemporary art."
Almost a bit over the top..!

Hi everyone!
There is a big discussion going on in Oslo right now whether one should boycott an exhibition at Kunstforeningen in Oslo where 9 Isralie artists are participating in the exhibition called Stop Making Sense.
It has specially provoked people because a norwegian foundation called Stiftelsen Morgenstjernen has given their support to the exhibition saying that their intention is to "promote Israel as a living, pluralistic and democratic society that works for peace with their neighbours as well as defending theirselves against them"
Wish it was in english, but this first one is unfortunately only in norwegian. English text in the links further down.
http://www.kunstkritikk.no/nyheter/oppfordrer-til-boikott-av-utstilling/
A lot of people states that they want to boycott the exhibition, whether others feel that to boycott artists and exclude is the wrong way and " Individuals who are actively speaking and working against the Israeli Occupation, and discrimination of the Palestinians are to be supported."
This article discussing the same case, is party in english.

Here you can read what the curator have thought around this:

hej to everyone,
Again a try to use the blog.
I would like to sum up our Impressions/Expressions/Thoughts and Talks in Lisbon. First it was great to meet you all again and also to meet the students from the Mausmaus.
I really enjoyed to get to know how things / the project thoughts are now.
In Portugal we had lectures about Colonialism - Post colonialism.
So that was another part of Escapism. So lets see if we can bring each Workshop into connection with one aspect of Escaping.
Braunschweig - leaving home because of political and economic reasons
Ramallah- How to come back
Malmö - being away in your mind
Lisbon - colonizing a country/people, power - victim
This ofcourse is only a suggestion and I hope it is a base for a discussion.
Greeting,
Lydia

Hi eveyone, it was great seing you all in Sweden last week!
Since we talked about starting to use this blog, I thought I'dd use this channel to post a link to the film that we saw some of during my presentation. Some of you asked for it. You can find a link to the film's details here: Kautokeino-opprøret. If anyone is interested in watching my copy, I could send/give it to you.
Also, should we put up links to our own websites/blogs? Or other websites that are interesting? I for one would be very interested to see them. I was thinking that it might be good to make another section to the right of this text for links to our own sites- i.e. "participants and friends", but I don't have access to do it. Also the right hand part of this blog should be kept pretty short, I guess, so maybe the preliminary dates section could be shortened down- and definately changed to the right dates and locations...
All the best!
